PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
(a) GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
Bausch & Lomb Incorporated is a world leader in the
development, manufacture and marketing of products and services
for the healthcare and optics fields.
Bausch & Lomb was incorporated in the State of New York in
1908 to carry on a business which was established in 1853. Its
principal executive offices are located in Rochester, New York.
Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms "Bausch & Lomb"
and "Company" as used herein refer to Bausch & Lomb Incorporated
and its consolidated subsidiaries. Highlights of the general
development of the business of Bausch & Lomb during 1995 are
discussed below.
The Company experienced a second difficult year in 1995;
however, the management of the Company is committed to improving
financial performance as outlined in its three-year strategic
plan. Sales increased to $1,932.9 million, 2% above the 1994
amount of $1,892.7 million. Excluding revenues for a sports
optics business that was divested in 1995, sales from continuing
product lines reached $1,914.6 million, a gain of 7% over the
1994 amount of $1,781.7 million. Net earnings for 1995 amounted
to $112.0 million or $1.94 per share compared to the amounts of
$31.1 million or $.52 per share in 1994. Results for both
periods were impacted by costs for restructuring and goodwill
impairment charges as described below. The 1995 amounts also
include a gain on the sale of the sports optics business. Net
earnings were $108.6 million or $1.88 per share in 1995,
excluding restructuring charges and the gain on the sports optics
divestiture, compared to $106.1 million or $1.78 per share in
1994, excluding goodwill impairment charges.
In May 1995, the Company sold its Sports Optics Division to
Worldwide Sports & Recreation, Inc., an affiliate of Pexco
Holdings. Total consideration included approximately $78 million
in cash paid at closing, plus future payments and securities of
Worldwide Sports & Recreation, Inc. The Sports Optics Division
marketed a full line of binoculars, riflescopes, telescopes,
spotting scopes and sporting glasses under well-known brand names
including Bushnell, Jason and Bausch & Lomb. The Company
recorded a non-recurring gain of $20.8 million after taxes, or
$.36 per share, on the sale.
In July 1995, the Company announced a commitment of more
than $30 million to install the next generation of soft contact
lens manufacturing technology. This capital investment for new
equipment follows the successful completion of the first phase of
a joint development program with IBM for systems design and
prototype production. The new technology will significantly
reduce the unit manufacturing cost of the Company's soft contact
lens products and substantially increase its contact lens unit
production capacity. The new technology will initially be used
to make its new high-water frequent replacement product,
SofLens66.
In December 1995, the Company announced that Daniel E. Gill,
chairman and chief executive officer, elected to retire from the
Company. Mr. Gill served as chairman and chief executive officer
for 13 years and had 17 years of service with the Company. Mr.
Gill also retired from the Company's Board of Directors.
Concurrent with this announcement, the Company named William M.
Carpenter president and chief operating officer. Mr. Carpenter
joined the Company in March 1995 as executive vice president and
global business manager - eyewear. William H. Waltrip, an
outside director of the Company, was named chairman and chief
executive officer in January 1996. Mr. Waltrip is chairman of
Technology Solutions Company and has been a director of the
Company since 1985.
In January 1996, the Company announced it had restated its
1993 and 1994 financial results. The action was taken as a
result of an ongoing investigation which identified uncertainties
surrounding the execution of a 1993 fourth quarter contact lens
sales program and the improper recording of 1993 sunglass sales
in Southeast Asia. Restatement of the contact lens distributor
program reduced Bausch & Lomb's originally reported 1993 sales
and net income by $22.3 million and $11.0 million, respectively,
while reversal of the sunglass sales in the Southeast Asia region
reduced previously reported 1993 sales by $19.8 million and net
income by $6.6 million. In total, this restatement reduced 1993
earnings per share by $.29. The restatement increased the
Company's reported 1994 sales and net income by corresponding
amounts, but had no effect whatsoever on the Company's 1995
financial results.
3
In December 1995, the Board of Directors approved certain
restructuring actions and the Company recorded certain charges
affecting 1995 results. The Company recorded a $26.7 million
restructuring provision, reducing net earnings by $.30 per share,
to cover actions being taken to enhance future financial
performance. More than half of the reserve, approximately $16
million, relates to severance and plant closure costs associated
with a reconfiguration of manufacturing processes, plus some
consolidation of administrative functions, in the Company's
eyewear business. The remainder stems from a partial
consolidation of various administration and production activities
for the Company's Charles River Laboratories subsidiary; losses
on disposition of assets related to elective strategy changes in
the traditional contact lens business; costs related to the
elimination of approximately 35 corporate staff positions; and
the sale of a Company airplane.
The Company also reduced 1995 earnings for litigation
provisions of $14.2 million or $.24 per share after taxes and the
recognition of retirement and other benefits for former chairman
and chief executive officer, Daniel E. Gill, amounting to $4.4
million or $.08 per share after taxes.
In January 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to
acquire Arnet Optic Illusions, Inc., a designer, manufacturer and
marketer of high-performance sunglasses and goggles, which
competes in market segments with specialty products where the
Company is not currently represented.
In February 1996, the Company acquired Award plc, a
Scotland-based company which manufactures and markets a high-
water, daily disposable soft contact lens. The Company also
acquired worldwide rights to patents held by BTG plc, a
technology transfer company, for methods used in Award's
manufacturing process. The patented cast-mold manufacturing
technology and highly efficient distribution process used by
Award are specifically designed to respond to the high volumes,
short cycle times and low unit costs needed to make single-use
contact lens wear practical and affordable for consumers.
(b) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
Information concerning sales, business segment earnings and
identifiable assets attributable to each of Bausch & Lomb's
reportable industry segments is set forth on pages 28-33 and 50-
51 of the Annual Report which are incorporated herein by
reference.
(c) NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Bausch & Lomb's operations have been classified into two
industry segments: Healthcare and Optics. Below is a
description of each segment and information to the extent that it
is material to an understanding of the Company's business taken
as a whole. In addition, pages 18-26 of the Annual Report are
incorporated herein by reference.
Healthcare
The Healthcare segment includes personal health, medical and
biomedical products. In the personal health sector, major lines
include solutions used for the care of contact lenses and for the
relief of eye irritation, contact lens accessories, certain over-
the-counter pharmaceutical products, oral care products and Curel
and Soft Sense skin care products. Medical products include
contact lenses and lens materials, prescription drugs, hearing
aids and dental implants. Biomedical products include purpose-
bred laboratory animals for biomedical research, products derived
from specific pathogen-free eggs and a variety of other
biotechnical and professional services provided to the scientific
research community.
The Company markets its personal health products in the U.S.
to practitioners through its own sales force and through drug
stores, food stores and mass merchandisers. Personal health
products are also marketed through an extensive international
marketing organization. Distribution in many other countries is
accomplished through distributors or dealers. Medical products
are marketed through the Company's sales force and distributors
to eye care and dental care practitioners, independent optical
laboratories and hospitals. Hearing aids are distributed through
the Miracle-Ear franchise system. Sales to pharmacies are
handled by drug wholesalers, while marketing of medical products
outside the U.S. is accomplished through the Company's extensive
international marketing organization. In some countries,
distribution is handled through dealers or distributors.
Biomedical products are sold primarily through the Company's
sales force worldwide.
4
Optics
The principal products of the Company's Optics segment
include sunglasses and optical thin film services and products.
Optical products are distributed worldwide through
distributors, wholesalers, manufacturer's representatives, and
independent sales representatives. These products are also
distributed through the Company's sales force to optical stores,
department stores, catalog showrooms, mass merchandisers,
sporting goods stores and, in the case of optical thin films, to
a variety of industrial customers.
Raw Materials and Parts; Customers
Materials and components in both of the Company's industry
segments are purchased from a wide variety of suppliers and the
loss of any one supplier would not adversely affect the Company's
business to a significant extent. No material part of the
Company's business taken as a whole is dependent upon a single or
a few customers in either of its industry segments. However, in
the Optics segment, 15% of sales are attributable to Sunglass
Hut.
Patents, Trademarks & Licenses
While in the aggregate the Company's patents are of material
importance to its businesses taken as a whole, no single patent
or patent license or group of patents or patent licenses relating
to any particular product or process is material to either
industry segment. The Company actively pursues technology
development and acquisition as a means to enhance its competitive
position in its business segments.
In the healthcare segment, Bausch & Lomb has developed
significant consumer, eye care professional and dental care
professional recognition of products sold under the Bausch &
Lomb, Sensitive Eyes, ReNu, Boston, SeeQuence, Medalist, The
Boston Lens, Optima, SofLens, Charles River, VAF/Plus, Dr. Mann
and Interplak trademarks. Bausch & Lomb, Ray-Ban, Revo and
Wayfarer are trademarks receiving substantial consumer
recognition in the optics segment.
Seasonality and Working Capital
Some seasonality exists for the Interplak line of power
toothbrushes in the Healthcare segment and for sunglasses in the
Optics segment. During some periods, the accumulation of
inventories of such products in advance of expected shipments
reflects the seasonal nature of the products. In general, the
working capital practices followed in each of the Company's
industry segments are typical of those businesses.
Competition
Each industry is highly competitive in both U.S. and non-
U.S. markets. In both of its segments, Bausch & Lomb competes on
the basis of product performance, quality, technology, price,
service, warranty and reliability. In the Optics segment, the
Company also competes on the basis of style.
Research and Development
Research and development constitutes an important part of
Bausch & Lomb's activities. In 1995, the Company's research and
development expenditures totaled $66 million, as compared to $60
million in 1994 and $58 million in 1993.
Environment
Although Bausch & Lomb is unable to predict what legislation
or regulations may be adopted or enacted in the future with
respect to environmental protection and waste disposal, existing
legislation and regulations have had no material adverse effect
on its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.
Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment for
environmental control facilities were not material during 1995
and are not anticipated to be material in 1996 or 1997.
Number of Employees
Bausch & Lomb employed approximately 14,000 persons as of
December 30, 1995.
(d) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS
AND EXPORT SALES
Information as to sales, operating earnings and identifiable
assets attributable to each of Bausch & Lomb's geographic
regions, and the amount of export sales in the aggregate, is set
forth on page 50 of the Annual Report and is incorporated herein
by reference.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
1. In June 1994, five separate shareholder actions against the
Company and its former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman,
Daniel E. Gill, were filed in the Western and Southern Districts
of New York and an additional action, naming the Company, Mr.
Gill and four other officers was filed in January 1995. In
September 1995, the parties agreed to consolidate the actions and
plaintiffs have filed several amended complaints. Plaintiffs
seek to represent two classes, including all persons who
purchased stock during a nine-month period prior to a June 3,
1994 announcement that the Company was undertaking efforts to re-
balance distributor inventories and shareholders who purchased
shares between June 4, 1994, and January 25, 1995, alleging that
the Company artificially inflated the value of its stock by
making false and misleading statements about expected financial
results. The Company is vigorously defending itself against
these claims.
2. On December 28, 1994, following an article in Business Week
magazine questioning the Company's accounting treatment of a
fourth quarter 1993 sales program initiated by the Contact Lens
Division, the Company received a request from the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) for information in connection with an
inquiry being conducted by the SEC. Since then, the Company has
received additional requests for information from the SEC staff,
including those with respect to the Company's global eyewear
business. The Company has provided documents and Company
personnel have testified. The Company is cooperating with the
SEC's continuing investigation and is unable to predict the
outcome of this proceeding.
3. In November 1994, the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Alabama certified a nationwide class of
purchasers of Optima FW and Medalist lenses during the period
January 1, 1991 through November 1, 1994 to pursue claims
relating to the Company's marketing and sale of the Optima FW,
Medalist and SeeQuence2 contact lens systems. Plaintiffs allege
that the Company misled consumers by packaging the same lens
under three different names for three different prices.
Plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive damages in an
unspecified amount. A trial is likely in the first half of 1996.
Another action raising substantially similar claims and filed in
California state court in October 1994 has been stayed pending
the trial of this action. A working group of state attorneys
general, representing the interests of 18 states, also requested
documents regarding the Company's pricing, labeling and
advertising of Optima FW, Medalist and SeeQuence2 lenses. The
State of Florida has indicated that it will pursue an
investigation independent of the working group and has served a
subpoena seeking documents relating to the marketing and sale of
contact lenses and contact lens solutions. The Company continues
to vigorously defend the marketing of these lens systems.
7
4. In May and June 1995, the Company was served with several
proposed class action complaints in New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and California, alleging that the Company misled
consumers in its marketing and sale of Sensitive Eyes Rewetting
Drops and Saline Solution and Bausch & Lomb Eyewash. Pending a
motion to certify a class in the New York action, the other
actions were stayed. The Company stipulated to certification of
a nationwide class of purchasers of Sensitive Eyes Rewetting
Drops, Boston Rewetting Drops, ReNu Rewetting Drops and Bausch &
Lomb Eyewash between May 1, 1989 and June 30, 1995 in the New
York action. In exchange plaintiffs agreed to seek dismissal of
their actions in other states. Another action, which was filed
by a separate group of plaintiffs' attorneys in state court in
California, was stayed by the court pending further review. The
Company vigorously defends the marketing of these products.
5. In June 1994, the Florida Attorney General, acting on behalf
of disposable contact lens consumers in the State of Florida,
filed an antitrust action against the Company and others in the
United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida.
The complaint challenges the Company's long-standing policy of
selling contact lenses only to licensed professionals.
Plaintiffs allege that the policy was adopted in conspiracy with
others to eliminate alternative channels of trade from the
disposable lens market. The Florida Attorney General seeks
treble damages on behalf of all purchasers of contact lenses,
whether from the Company or others, a $1 million penalty and
injunctive relief. A number of consumer class actions have been
consolidated in the Middle District of Florida and actions are
pending in California, Alabama and Tennessee state courts. The
complaints make similar allegations and seek similar relief on
behalf of consumers outside the State of Florida. The Company
defends its policy as a lawfully adopted means of insuring
effective distribution of its products and safeguarding
consumers' health.
6. In 1995, the Company established additional provisions for,
among other things, the costs and expenses associated with
certain litigation against the Company. One of the matters
related to litigation arising from the marketing and sale of
Miracle-Ear hearing aids manufactured and sold by the Company's
Dahlberg Inc. subsidiary between January 1989 and January 1994.
In November 1995, settlements of class actions in Minnesota and
Alabama and an action by the FTC were approved. The provision
balance is deemed adequate to satisfy the settlements in these
matters as well as the costs and expenses reasonably estimable
with regard to the other pending matters.
